Title: std::string not available in code completion
Post by: Neo on April 27, 2022, 04:17:05 am

I am a casual user of CB. I mainly do small tests and write small projects in CB.

I have a problem with std::string code completion. It seems CB does not know this type. When I type s. there is no code completion at all. When I try  std::stri the list does not have `string`.

I tried this in the latest nightly svn12802 and the official 17.12, and got same behavior.

Hi, thanks for the report.

I maintain the CodeCompletion for a long time, but the C++ source code is hard to parse.

Currently, I think the main direction is using code completion from "clangd".
We have "clangd_client" plugin, can you try it?

Thanks for pointing out, but I decide to wait for next nightly build.
